Beso kind as to forward the enclosed letter by express to Pyatnitsa.

Ihave received a letter from the secretary of the C.C. Bureau Abroad
quoting Schwarz as saying that Huysmans has forbidden the reports to be
more than four pages long. Kindly inform that secretary that if he wishes
he can get in touch with Huysmans direct. I only know one thing—we
are printingthe reportourselves; who can forbid us to make
it long? The important thing is to see to it that the re port is readyin time for the congress, andweshall circulate it among
thedelegates ourselves. That the report is sup posed to be
printed in three languages I have known forsome time, but what if we haven’t the money? Will they “forbid” its
publication in one language?

Ienclose a letter from the bank presenting me with a statement of
account anddemanding from me(as always) a written reply signed
by me certifying the correctness of the figures. I am enclosing my written
				reply,[1]i.e., a form with my signature (and dated in my handwriting August4, so, N.B., don’t send it before that). Please check the
account and, if correct, send my letter.

Withbest wishes and regards to O.A.

Yours,N. Lenin

P.S.About Copenhagen, yesterday I sent a letter to the C.C. Bureau
Abroad asking them to notify the Bund C.C. and the Latvians. Did you take
into account the expenses for the trip to Copenhagen? They say it will cost
250–300 francs per delegate, of whom there will be eight at the
maximum. Will you have enough for thatout of the 75,000?
